Honda has announced its 2027 competition CRF motocross/enduro lineup. The motocross CRF450R and enduro CRF450RX get full model changes, while the 250 class receives new colors. It's a refresh of Honda's competition-focused off-road lineup.
Motocross's CRF450R faces a different kind of brutality than pavement racing. Suspension and engine both get tested to their limits in an instant on a jump landing. A full model change is work that raises that extreme by another notch. Evolving a competition base model like this is proof of Honda's real commitment. I'll be watching how it shows up in results on the ground.

The CRF450R and its enduro sibling, the RX, get updated together, that's the relationship there.
What are the actual specifics of this complete overhaul — how much is genuinely new, from frame to engine?
It says complete overhaul, so I'd guess it's basically all-new development, frame and engine included.
Updating both the motocross and enduro 450s at the same time really shows a concentrated push of development resources.
The 250 only getting a new color suggests it's just not the right point in its model cycle for a bigger update yet.
A complete overhaul of the 450 means it must've gone through a seriously intensive development period.
